Microsoft Bluetooth PIN - Keyboard

[blindman2]

I have a user that is using a Microsoft Elite Bluethooth KB and mouse set. I need to move these items to a new computer and I do not know the PIN number for the device<s> so I can reatach on the new computer. She does not have the original documentation. I am thinking it is 0000 or 1234. I am going ot be replacing the workstation with a new computer and really need to be able to reinstall these for her. Thanks if you can help.

Doesn't this set come with a Bluetooth USB dongle? If so, then the communication is between the KB/mouse and the dongle, this should remain unchanged.

I was going to recycle the BT key on a CPU w/o BT - Laptop has built in BT. simply moving key, That was my thought too - but might stll need drivers for it - no support through MS for the hardware - manual or drivers, they are not availble to download. ( that I could find ) Lucky that I did find the original box / manual / software - So I am up n running. Thx

Just set it up again.... run the bluetooth connection utility to find the keyboard & mouse (after you push the button on the bottom to allow them to be found). Even if you knew the old passprhase, you couldn't use it without finding the devices again.
